has anyone had their lens calibrated by canon? and how much does it normally cost. I am suspecting that my 35 mm may be front focusing, but because i only have a 40d i can't micro adjust.

I'm in Melbourne. I just had my 5D and 85mm f/1.2 (old version) serviced and calibrated at Camera Clinic.

It cost me a lot more than I thought... $264.
They cleaned my camera inside and outside.
Cleaned my lens in and out.
Calibrated both lens and body, as best as they could.

Definitely fixed my auto focusing issues... but cost me a lot more than I had thought.

I usually manual focus with my 85mm, but my camera body was in need of a service and I saw their website which advertised $99 for sensor clean and if you supply a lens they will also calibrate it. Best to take it in and get a quote.
